Actually 2,286 KBytes/sec is 22.86 mbps as compared to the way Telcos
rate their ADSL throughput, so I use the same x10 method.
The quote of 35 mbps and higher is between two radios whereas the copy
and paste shows through ten radios. Obviously to get 22 mbps at the
end there is a higher rate in the middle since you lose a bit at each
radio.
Here is the test repeated on one radio hop. That radio link is also
the main feed for the network that feeds to McBride and picks up 9 AP
sites and over 200 customers. It brings the feeds into 4 resale ADSL
lines that we get from Sprint. The normal traffic through that link
is about 2 mbps so my test was competing with traffic on a live link.
We use source routing to send particular customers to our choice of
ADSL line. I do manual shifting for balancing, but since average
throughput is 2 mbps and each ADSL line is 4 mbps / 1 mbps we are only
scratching the surface. The system does peak to over 10 mbps but
very, very rarely.
